RADIO AND TELEVISION 



Radio and television stations throughout the Province have been most generous 

 in their donations of free time to the Department, and Districts regularly take 

 advantage of these opportunities to reach the public. In addition to radio pro- 

 grammes, several Districts now conduct regular, live television broadcasts of their 

 own. This Section also supplies Districts with films for use on television. 



Exhibits 



Visual conservation appeals are featured in the Department's exhibits at many 

 of the shows and fairs in Ontario. Full co-operation was given to District Offices 

 participating in sportsmen's shows and agricultural fairs such as the Western Fair 

 at London, the International Plowing Match at Caledon and the Timmins Sports- 

 men's Show. The major exhibits handled through Head Office were as follows:
